Dry cleaning is any cleaning process for clothing and textiles using a solvent other than water. The term is a misnomer, as most dry cleaning is done with chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents, one of the most popular of which is perchloroethylene, commonly referred to as "Perc".

Because dry cleaners use odorless dry solvent in place of water. Using a solvent instead of water reduces chance of shrinkage, color loss or bleeding.
